Your Podscope hit is at 5:09 The first generation of Open Source has been a wild ride unimaginable at the time it began. But Mitch Kapor, President of the Open Source Applications Foundation and chair of the Mozilla Foundation, thinks the end is not in sight and that we can influence the future of Open Source by our actions and contributions. Open Source has some great virtues that deserve to be spread through all of society, not just the computing industry.

Your Podscope hit is at 5:45 In the not to distant future, web surfers globally will have new versions of their favorite web browser foisted upon them from all the major players. Apple's Safari, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and Mozilla's Firefox are battling to become your browser of choice. So which one should you use - Safari 3.1, Firefox 3, or Internet Explorer 8? Apple's latest offering, Safari 3.1, preserves the company's signature focus on clean design and smooth usability, but it lacks any phishing or malware filters. For its part, Mozilla should have applied the finishing touches to Firefox 3 by now. From under-the-hood memory improvements to a major reworking for bookmarks, version 3 represents a big step forward. Whereas the new Firefox and Safari browsers are ready to roll, Microsoft's early beta of Internet Explorer 8 remains a work in progress. Bugs and rough edges are to be expected in a first beta intended for developers and testers. But IE 8 beta 1 provides a glimpse of new features such as WebSlices (which let sites create widgety snippets of information that you can view by clicking a bookmark button) and Activities (which add right-click menu options for looking up selected text and pages on map, translation and other sites) that will distinguish the browser Microsoft eventually releases. From an end user?s point of view changing upgrading web browsers should be, as the great author Douglas Adams said as he described the inhabitants of planet earth, ?Mostly Harmless?, but spare a thought for web developers. With hundreds of changes to style sheet implementation, what are the chances websites built for current browsers will look the same in the new browsers? Safari and Firefox are the most reliable browsers when it comes to displaying websites on your screen. Microsoft?s Internet explorer is riddled with bugs and strange, unexplainable anomalies, which most of us turn a blind eye to. Let?s hope Microsoft?s IE8 conforms to internet standards a little better than its previous incarnations. The future of Digital TV in Australia! Be sure to tune in this week to hear Adam Turner's exlusive interview with Communications Minister Stephen Conroy. With the goal post continually on the move, Adam asks the minister when and how analogue TV will close in Australia. Data Recovery - You may need to know about it one day - so why not today! Graham Henley is one of the world?s experts in data recovery from the PC environment and from iPods, digital still and video cameras and MP3 players. He is a director and co-developer of the world?s leading data recovery software applications - GetData Software?s Recover My Files, Recover My Email, Recover My Photos and Recover My iPod. He also has eleven years law enforcement experience in the Australian Federal Police, five of those in the Computer Crime Unit. After leaving law enforcement Graham spent five years as Director of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Asia Pacific computer forensics practice. He headed the computer forensics team which recovered thousands of missing files involved in the collapse of corporate giants FAI, One-Tel and HIH. Also on This Weeks Show We take a look at the worlds most powerful brands for 2008 ? technologically, Tivo?s introduction in Australia is not sailing as smoothly as first thought Optus takes a leaf from Telstra?s book and sinks the boots into Canberra and Bay Sellers may be restricted to cheaper items

Your Podscope hits are at 3:10, 4:08, 4:20, 5:06, 5:28, 14:33 and 20:39 This 21 minute podcast features an inteview with Mark Kornbluh, Director of MATRIX and Professor of History at Michigan State University. Our conversation was recorded at the CNI 2008 Spring Task Force Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota where Mark co-presented the session, "Digital Humanities Centers: Models, Missions, and Challenges".MATRIX: The Center for Humane, Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University seeks to advance critical understanding and promote access to knowledge through world-class research in humanities technology. Humanities technology brings together the humanist's quest for deeper understanding of human nature, thought, expression, and behavior with the tools, methods and applications of computer science, engineering, and information and library sciences. MATRIX researchers use networked technologies to advance, mediate, and inform the humanist disciplines of history, literature, language, philosophy, as well as disciplines within the arts, social sciences, and education. At MSU, MATRIX partners in music, speech and audiology, history, education, international studies, museum studies, and libraries are building new, global, networked resources and services that give life to the metaphor of "matrix" as the multiple intersections and applications of interdisciplinary research. MATRIX therefore applies humanities technology to all the elements of MSU's mission: research, education, outreach, and service to multiple public and professional communities. Guided by basic scholarly and humanist values of excellence, education, access, and inclusiveness, and conducted according to proven, collaborative, scientific methods and principles, MATRIX aims to be one of the top humanities technology centers in the world. This interview is provided courtesy of CNI and was recorded at their 2008 Spring Task Force Meeting.  The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) is an organization dedicated to supporting the transformative promise of networked information technology for the advancement of scholarly communication and the enrichment of intellectual productivity.  You can learn more about CNI at their web site, http://www.cni.org

Your Podscope hit is at 41:54 Hydrogen production from algae Conventional hydrogen production is expensive. A cheaper method involves using algae. The algae live in a series of ponds. Hydrogen is collected as it bubbles to the surface. An advantage is microalgae can be located on non-arable land and don´t compete with food production. Nuclear fuel pellets found in a German garden In February 2007, fuel pellets were found in the garden of a private home. Forensic science helped determine the material´s origin. They were produced in a German fuel fabrication plant, which had been shut down some years ago. But how did they find their way into the garden? The Star Wars Enigma Author Nigel Hey describes Ronald Reagan´s Strategic Defence Initiative, or Star Wars and the role it played in ending the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. E-science The internet and advanced computing is allowing a more collaborative way of doing science. Wendy Barnaby reports on some areas of research where new surprising results are being obtained.
